Mission

The Savage River Watershed
Association (SRWA) is a group of individuals, families, and
land owners dedicated to protecting, restoring, and
enhancing the natural resources of the Savage River
watershed through stewardship, assistance to interested
landowners and public land managers, water quality
monitoring, and educational outreach.

Follow biologists as they track native brook trout in western Maryland's
Savage River, and learn why these fish are used to monitor the health
of the freshwater streams that flow to the Chesapeake Bay.

The Watershed

The Savage River watershed or drainage basin covers all of the
land from which water drains into the Savage River and its tributaries.
